Something is in the Air.
Features: DVD
Just north of the border, in the tired coastal town of Imperial Beach, CA, live three generations of Yosts: surfing royalty turned society misfits. The Yost's reign and reputation, once defined in the curl of a perfect wave, has been eroded by years of bad luck, addiction and hubris. But just as things are looking like they can't get worse, a stranger named John arrives - and the Yost's banal existence is lifted into something profound, miraculous and, possibly, universal.This three disc collection includes all ten episodes from The Complete First Season of John from Cincinnati!
"...interesting and different. It's like a cross between Twin Peaks and Endless Summer..." CleverDonkey.com
"...an existential surfing dramedy...[a] twisted welding of surfing and spirituality..." Edward Copeland, Edward Copeland on Film
Editor's Note
The Yosts are a three-generation California surfing dynasty. But their legacy has been tarnished by a series of bad choices, profligate drug use, and lingering family traumas. Nevertheless, 14-year-old Shaun Yost (Greyson Fletcher) is set to become a surfing star--if he can escape the family curse. And when an unearthly stranger named John arrives on the beach, he may have what it takes to help the family pull it together. Set along the emerald coastline of Imperial Beach, just a stone's throw away from the Mexican border, this unique series blends the miraculous with the most excellent. A unique collaboration between DEADWOOD creator David Milch and surf-noir novelist Kem Nunn, JOHN FROM CINCINNATI employed a whole host of familiar faces, including turns by Bruce Greenwood (NOWHERE MAN), Rebecca De Mornay (RISKY BUSINESS), Luke Perry (BEVERLY HILLS 90210), Ed O'Neill (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), and Jennifer Grey (DIRTY DANCING). This collection presents the series' first and only season.
